Answer

Cost of 8 kg tomatoes = ₹ 84.

Cost of 1 kg tomato = ₹ (848)[Less tomatoes, Less cost]\Big(\dfrac{84}{8}\Big) \quad \text{[Less tomatoes, Less cost]}

Cost of 14 kg tomatoes = ₹ (848×14)[More tomatoes, More cost]\Big(\dfrac{84}{8} \times 14\Big) \quad \text{[More tomatoes, More cost]}

= ₹ (212×14)\Big(\dfrac{21}{2} \times 14\Big)

= ₹ (2942)\Big(\dfrac{294}{2}\Big)

= ₹ 147

Hence, the cost of 14 kg of tomatoes is ₹ 147.
